I'm having trouble following the initial question. What does it mean
for a request to be "made via the docshell"?

Made via one specific docShell. We create a <browser> element that will be used only to process a queue of URLs we want to thumbnail. We want every request processed by the docShell associated with this browser to have the LOAD_ANONYMOUS flag.

Does that clarify?

Thanks,

If you add LOAD_ANONYMOUS to that list and also make all docshells set
that flag, then all page loads and their subcomponents will have that
flag set. That's not what you want.

That said, adding the flag to that list seems independently useful.

Looking at the code, we do not pass on the LOAD_ANONYMOUS flag to

I'm not sure what the reason behind this is, but you can verify whether
this is where the problem comes from by breaking on that code and
inspecting the load group and the attached request's flags after this
call.


I wonder if this is also what causes

Hmm, looks like it must be something else that causes the refresh bug--the
loadFlags in question are part of the mask.

bz/biesi: so for Mark's issue, could we just add LOAD_ANONYMOUS to the list
here?

In bugs 875986 and 902439, we are trying to arrange for a docShell

solve a
number of problems, the most pressing of which is that SSL client
certificates are being prompted for (or just silently sent) while doing
the
thumbnail for certain sites.

At first I thought it should be as simple as docShell.loadGroup.flags |=
Cu.nsIRequest.LOAD_ANONYMOUS, but this isn't having the desired effect.
I
tried various other things and asked on #developers, but I've been
unable
to work out how the make this happen.  The interactions between the
docShell, loadGroups and requests is fairly involved, so even looking at
the code and stepping through in the debugger isn't giving me any joy.

Can someone tell me how I can make this happen?

Thanks,
